I am trying to send a rendered PDF to the client using the below:

Code: Visual Basic.NET 
Response.Clear()
        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf")
        pdoc.Save(Response.OutputStream)
        Response.End()

I have also tried saving to a memory stream and sending with no luck.

If I use the same code to create the PDF but instead save to file it works fine.
Code: Visual Basic.NET 
pdoc.Save(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "\pdf\test.pdf")


I have no issue sending XLSX or DOCX files to the client from this same page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Your code looks fine. I do not see any problems with that. From our product point of view, if you can save into a physical file and it works fine, then the product is working correctly.

Thanks!

Hi Ross,

You may have solved your problem by now, but in case others need help, you need to flush the output stream and seek it back to the beginning. Here's an example:

Code: Visual Basic.NET 
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=test.pdf")
pdoc.Save(Response.OutputStream)

Response.OutputStream.Flush()
Response.OutputStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)

Response.End()


I didn't test that code, but that's the general idea. Hope that helps!
